* Configurable page header, top text, and bottom text.
* Up to five additional user-defined fields.
* Main message field is re-sizeable.
* All fields can be optional, mandatory, or not shown.
* Optional simple captcha system. We don't want to discourage potential customers, so we use a simple picture based system, "Please click on the cat/dog/etc". You can easily add your own pictures to the image library.
* Optional "magic word" system. The user must find and enter the correct magic word to send a message. You can make the magic word easy to find, or difficult.
* Optional auto-fill of email address and name or username for logged in users.
* Optionally logs all contacts. The log is viewable in the back end and includes the browser type and IP address of the sender.
* Multi-language with many languages. The user guide explains how to add your own language.
Version 5 adds most of the features you have been asking for - but is still just as easy to setup:
* Configurable email templates giving complete control over email content and format.
* Built-in editor to easily edit the front-end CSS styles.
* Option to not show "Email a copy of this message to your own address"
* Option to require agreement of a statement and/or linked article before the send button is enabled.
* Option to send emails as HTML or plain text.
* Option to redirect to a link after sending a message.
In case you need help there is also a full pdf user guide.
I was using a Contact Form that was a Commercial extension (which I do need for more complex forms on my site) - however, I kept having problems with the simple Contact Form just NOT working right.
I tried Flexi Contact and had it installed, configured, tested and running perfectly within about 10 minutes! VERY easy to configure and so far seems to work exactly like it's supposed to!

I got it working in seconds. Super easy to use. Is great to have those extra fields available. And, also, you can setup a different recipients per menu item, that's fantastic. I had use a few more different contact forms before, and I can guarantee you that this is the best non-commercial contact form. Keep rocking!

Many thanks to everyone for all the reviews. We don't always reply, but we do always appreciate them!

FlexiContact's top and bottom text can include plugins, so it's no problem to include a Google map.
This a great extension; I love the pictorial captcha. One small citicism is the fact that the email sent to the User contains as the first line: "From: Administrator of My site"
I would prefer not to include my email address and cannot find how to exclude it from this message.

It does work. I did receive your support request but I am very sorry that we are not able to provide free support.
Very easy to install and use. Everything up and working within minutes! Only thing I miss is the ability to have selectable email forward adresses, i.e: the ability to include additional email recipients in the List configuration like:
"Select your country, Denmark[email@denmark.com], England[email@england.com], USA[email@usa.com]" and so on.
"Select your country, Denmark[email@denmark.com], England[email@england.com], USA[email@usa.com]" and so on.
This extension is easy to install and configure to suit whatever contact details you wish to provide. Being a separate component, it does not conflict with the built-in contact feature so you could provide minimal contact for guests whilst having an extended contact page for registered users. The free-text layout gives it flexibility and I love the image based spam filter. I am happy to recommend it and like another reviewer exclaimed, stop reading reviews and just install it with confidence. Thank you for an excellent extension.
I´ve been fighting with forms for 3 long days now, most of them had conflict with a chat module in javascript, finally this one worked just fine, thanks.

In 5 minutes, including the download time, I had Flexi Contact running on my business site. The image alternative to the standard CAPTCHA is very welcome, but the main thing is that this is simple, lightweight and just works. A fine addition to the library of extensions -- I'll be using it in the future.
This component is what people refer to when they quote this "The BEST THINGS ARE DEFINITELY FOR FREE". Just added it as my favorite. Thank you for programming such a GOOD THING.
I have been using this component since I started with my own Joomla website and it is a great asset with many options, thank you very much!
I've used Flexi Contact for years, and am still impressed at how wonderful it is. Site after site our company produces, we always stick with Flexi. Never a single problem, always works flawlessly. Flexi is by far the best contact forum, non-commercial AND commercial! Love it!!!
I love the app. Easy to use, install, set-up etc.
I downloaded version 5 and while I do see the more traditional component interface and improvements as mentioned above and on your website... I can only seem to make one form now??
Ver 4 allowed a basic form; i.e. name: - email - comment.
And as many other forms that you might need. With different fields : phone numbers - drop-downs - address - custom fields out the wazoo.
All with the ease of adding a new menu item.
Is version 5 a one trick pony with a thank you page and logging or am I missing something? -
This is not a complaint (your hard work is appreciated and your app gets 5 stars)
Just a question for us version 4 long time users?
Thx
